On this week’s show …… Supercross kicked off the 2018 season with some great racing.

We open the show talking about the how we like the new format of the race night, and we talk about the new metal girds at the starting line. Looks like Supercross might be on to something good here!

Moving on to the 250s we talk about the heat races and the final. The winner, Shane McElrath, look strong all evening and is going to be in the running all season. Cianciarulo and Plessinger completed the podium. Phil made an augment that Cianciaurlo is in the west to prepare him to move up to the 450s next season.

The Supercross 450s saw a lot of action with one of the big names, Eli Tomac, not finishing the night due to a crash and saggy pants. Ken Roczen started is comeback season in decent fashion and Justin Barcia becomes the happiest man in Supercross.

3-Time MotoGP 500cc World Champion and the man who will be spearheading MotoAmerica, Wayne Rainey will be joining the Pack on The Dawghouse, Tuesday night Oct 28th.

Wayne Rainey will forever be remembered as a man who dominated MotoGP in a time when the field was loaded with legends. Now he will also be remembered as a key part in the group that will be revitalizing American road racing.

The Pack is extremely anxious to ask Wayne about the new series, and his dreams and desires for it, plus throw in some old school racing talk. The show runs live on NTNRadio.com from 6-8 pm eastern with a live interactive chatroom on the website for listeners to chime in with their questions and comments. NTNRadio.com is also on the TuneIn app, Shoutcast app and Xiia app for our mobile friends. A podcast of the show will be available within a few hours of the end of the show.

The Dawghouse is a completely irreverent, totally biased, intellectually challenged and scornful study of the twisted life of the motorcycling world and those who inhabit our planet… all wrapped up in a disturbing weekly LIVE broadcast! Listen in every Tuesday from 6:00pm to 8:00pm (Eastern time.) on NTNRadio.com

[in your best Scottish accent, aka Mr. Scott from Star Trek] “Cap’n I am given her all I can, but if the engine and frame reach a resonant frequency of 5800 RPMs…the engine could shut down!”

All kidding aside a recall that started in Australia a few weeks ago (and reported on The DawHouse #269) has made it to America. Apparently it is possible that the engine vibration at 5800 RPMs could cause the ignition switch to move to the ACC position shutting down the motor. I am sure we all know what could happen if you were doing 80 MPH in the center of a multi-lane highway, just in front of a Tractor Trailer and the engine clicked off….not a pretty picture!

The NHTSA has issued campaign number 14V413000 that affect 3,361 2014.5 Dynas, built between 1/6/2014 and 6/19/2014, in the US (and based on fact that they were recalled in Australia I assume all 2014.5 Dyna motorcycles are affected).

This recall is self-reported by HD. It first found the problem at the end of March 2014 when a bike turned itself off while on a dynamometer. Further testing determined that this was a true safety issue and they reported the recall to the NHTSA at the beginning of July.
